I frequently play it in the daytime with no lights on and it is easy to see. You are correct about the battery life, I get about 6-7 games between charges. Strengthwise ssdf rates Tiger 2100 at tournment time control. My rating compiled over 60+ games at game in 30' indicates about 2050. My eyes are not what they used to be but the full screen board is a good choice. I was looking for a cheap no frills machine with a fairly strong engine and I have not been dissapointed with the Zire 21. By the way, if Tiger is not strong enough get Genius as it is now about 100 pts higher(at least until the next version of Tiger). Good luck and enjoy.
